You deserve to have the opportunity to change, to reach your goals in all aspects of your life and be the person that you want to be, and yet sometimes there can be barriers to making such positive change. I enjoy working with teenagers, adults and the elder population and believe in empowering the people I work with to accomplish their own goals, understand their triggers and use positive coping skills when dealing with adverse situations in their life.

Do you feel stuck in life due to past traumas or painful life experiences? Are you struggling with substances, other compulsive behaviors, or chronic shame? Do you have insight into what's happening but still feel powerless over making changes or finding relief? I specialize in treating addiction and trauma (they often go hand in hand) and have dedicated myself to helping individuals and families grow and improve their lives. I'm skilled at working with simple trauma to complex PTSD and dissociative disorders, focusing on the various underlying and often complex emotional and personality issues that continue to cause problems.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
